I like how easy it is to handle this knife. The blade was sharp right out the box. There were a few blemishes from the damascus though.

It feel amazing in the hands, well balance light and the sharpness of the knife I ever had and used. I Before buying it I search in-depth about miyabi knifes. It blade and construction is well made knifes. Will most likely be the last knife set.

Simply Amazing

After owning a few different brands of chef knives, I can say that this is by far the best knife I've ever owned.
The handle is extremely comfortable for those long tasks, it's extremely well balanced, and the construction feels like it was built to last a lifetime.
The blade, right out of the box, is extremely sharp... It's impressively sharp. I tested the precision by cutting the thinnest slice of tomato I've ever seen.
Will continue to replace my knives with Miyabi in the future!
I would recommend this to a friend!

PERFECTION

One of the best knives I have ever owned- and I have quite a few very high end, Japanese knives that cost quite a bit more than this one. Balance is perfect, and it's VERY VERY sharp.

Wicked Sharp

This is my first Japanese steel knife and it is amazingly sharp. I can cut paper-thin slices off a tomato, and cut anything with extreme ease. This is awesome and I highly recommend upgrading to these if you can afford it if you cook with any regularity. They also look really cool and everyone who comes over asks about them, so i wish i had a better backstory than that i bought them on the internet.
I would recommend this to a friend!
